What year are those babies?

I use my DCA Expanse with my Pendant. Sounds great. I use the 8 ohm tap. Input tube is important. I prefer the higher gain of a 12ax7 with the expanse.

Does this have the latest USB implementation? Thinking of moving up from my Spring 3 KTE.

Is this still available?

I would say the Valvo’s do that

Of course I will! Maybe a 6060 is in the future....

I have a new Brimar coming this week. A 6057. Looking forward to it. I have liked every Brimar I’ve tried and absolutely love the CV4035.

To add a little more, the VO has the widest stage if that matters to you. The Atriums are are a little more closed in and intimate sounding than the VO.

What a find! Those aren’t easy to come by. I’ve been looking at yellow Ts since my pleasant experience with the CV4035. If you decide to sell the third, I would be very interested.

Thinking of off loading my VC Blackwoods if anyone is interested in buying or possibly trading. I prefer softer wood ZMFs.

I finally put the g73-r back in paired with the 54’ Valvo Sittards I got from @shwnwllms. What a pairing! I had been stuck on the Brimar CV4035 Footscray with the Tungsram black plate foil disk getter. The Valvo/g73-r has more mid bass than Tungsram/CV4035. Much wider stage as expected with...
